Naito: Yay!! 33 reviews!! Everybody dance with me! *music starts
for no reason at all and everyone dances*
Malik: Yay!! I'm so popular!
Muffin: *enters, sees various Yu-Gi-Oh characters dancing, shrugs and joins in cause he's on a sugar high* Somebody tell Rod Boy to put his shirt on!
Malik: ^_^ Not a chance!
Naito: You see, Malik was mad because I put him in a school uniform. So I told him that he could dress normally if he kept his bloody shirt off. He agreed. And the fangirls are happy too! *points to large group of fangirls outside the window*
Muffin: *looking hopeful* Okay, if he's topless, Mai should be too.
Mai: Not a chance, Bakery Boy.
Muffin: It was worth a shot.
Mai: No it wasn't.
Yugi: Ooh.... Shot down!
All but Yugi: *looks at Yugi very oddly*
Yugi: What??
Yami: Did you give my other sugar?
Naito: Only a little piece of cake!
Yugi: I like cake!!! *sees Kuriboh trying to sneak off* Oh no you don't!! *runs off after the Kuriboh, giggling insanely*
Muffin: No!!! Not the Kuriboh!!! For the love of bishoujo!! *jumps in front of Yugi and grabs the Kuriboh*
Kuriboh: *holds up disclaimer sign*

... Yami and Yugi conversing with one another.
---------------------------------
"Malik?" Yugi called. "Are you out here?" He looked up and down the empty hallway but didn't see any sign of the Egyptian. He kept walking, trying to think of places that he might've gone. Bakura poked his head out of nearby classroom, looking quizzically at his friend.
"What's going on, mate? I was just sitting in my desk talking with Joey when I saw Malik run down the corridor. Screaming, no less."
"I'm not really sure, Bakura. He just kind of snapped during the announcements." Yugi explained. "Wait... You said.... You saw him?" Bakura nodded and pointed towards the boys' washroom.
"Yes. He went that way."
"Thanks! See you and Joey at break, 'kay?" Bakura nodded and turned back to go into his classroom.
"Good luck with Malik!" He joked. Yugi laughed and rolled his eyes.
"I think I might need it." With that, he turned and ran towards the bathroom, fingers crossed that he'd find his new friend in there.
Meanwhile, Malik was in the bathroom, splashing cold water on his face in an attempt to wash away the sweat. He stared coldly at the Millenium Rod next to the sink.
"Bastard." He muttered, wiping a few stray drops of water from his skin. "You're just trying to scare me. We both know damned well that you're no match for the Pharaoh. I should've known you didn't have the guts to return." The Rod merely sat there, it being an inanimate object and all. Though, this only seemed to infuriate Malik further. "Stop mocking me, dammit! For the love of Ra just leave me alone!! I've done nothing to deserve this!!" He grabbed the Rod and shot it across the room as hard as he could. "Go away!!!" It hit the door and clattered to the cement floor, echoing in the small room. With that he practically collapsed against the sink counter.
" Hey Malik." He heard Yugi greet him. "Are you all right?"
"Of course I am. Why do you ask?"
"Because you just chucked your Millenium Item against the door." Yugi picked it up and handed it to him. "It's hard, I know. These Egyptian spirits can be kinda annoying."
Well that was uncalled for. Yami protested.
Would you like to talk to him instead? Yugi asked. It was meant to be sarcasm, but Yami took it otherwise.
Actually, I would. Yugi gave an inward sigh, but nonetheless let his darker half emerge. Malik, noticing the transition, dropped onto one knee.
"Pharaoh..." He said, not daring to look the great king in the eye. Especially after his deeds. Yami couldn't help but smiling. It had been awhile since he had been addressed so formally.
"You may rise, Malik. This isn't Egypt. You have no need to bow." Malik nodded and stood to look Yami in the eye. "So tell me, Malik... What seems to be the problem?"
"The spirit of the Rod... I fear he has returned."
"Why is that?"
"I was sitting in my desk and then there it was. This voice. No one was talking. And no one else seemed to notice it. I just know it was my yami trying to scare me."
"What was it saying?"
"I wasn't paying attention."
"Malik, I want you to think about what Yugi was telling you. Before you heard the voice."
"He was saying something about announcements...." Malik paused, realizing his fault. "I am such an idiot." Inside his soul room, Yugi couldn't help but laugh.
Well, at least he's starting to sound like a normal teenager, huh?
This is a good start. He still has a few trust issues to work through, but I think he'll be fine. Yami replied. He put a hand on Malik's shoulder.
"I know you feel a little out of place here, but Yugi and the others only want to be your friends. It may seem strange after what you did, but it's true." He held out the Millenium Rod but Malik was still reluctant to accept. "Do not worry. The spirit that once inhabited this is locked in the Shadow Realm and can no longer harm you. Even if he were to emerge once more, he would be weakened. So take it." Malik nodded and wrapped his fingers around the golden rod once more. He started towards the door, but stopped and looked back at Yami.
"Pharaoh? Do you really think that they've forgiven me? Even after all I've done?"
"They have. They are quite willing to accept you into their group... If you wish to join, that is."
---------------------------------
Sorry this went kind of serious... Didn't mean it to. It just did. And in case you've been wondering, the random people in the plotless side story are friends of mine. So I made sure to tell that particular friend that Tenshi No Shi meant Death Of Angel. In any case, yes Ayod Botla, I was planning on doing the nice teary flashback as soon as my flipping DVDs come in. That way it'd be slightly more accurate. But (lol) you beat me to it! Started to read it and it's so good! ^_^ It's probably good that you did it, cause I think you did better than I could've!
Malik: Yay!! I'm so popular!
